The Reckless Gamble of Self-Amplifying RNA

A Runaway Experiment with No Off Switch

Just when we thought the murderous mRNA shots were being taken down due to the blowback by physicians, scientists, and the people around the world, a worse genetically modifying experiment is about to be released by the mad scientists of the world.

Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), the next-generation experimental genetic modification technology, is derived from traditional messenger RNA (mRNA) platforms. Similar to mRNA, which delivers instructions to the ribosomes to make a protein, saRNA also includes extra genetic material that allows it to replicate itself inside the body, massively amplifying the amount of protein produced.

This self-replication dramatically increases the amount of protein generated and duration of exposure without needing additional doses. However, this uncontrolled amplification raises serious safety concerns: it can provoke prolonged, excessive immune reactions, unpredictable tissue damage, unknown proteins, and a far greater risk of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Because saRNA can keep making copies long after the initial injection, the body’s ability to shut down or regulate the process is essentially impossible, making it a potentially far more dangerous and less predictable technology.

Best Explanation

I found Dr. John Catanzaro’s (@Docjohnc) explanation of saRNA one of the best and clearest explanations I have seen. I have his permission to repost his Substack on this topic in full. It’s not just about Saying No to this technology or more shots; it’s about keeping the genie in the bottle and then destroying the bottle. Highlights/bold markings are mine.

God help us…

Self-Amplifying RNA

In the ever-growing arms race of genetic engineering, a new and deeply concerning player has emerged: self-amplifying RNA (saRNA). Unlike conventional mRNA shots, which carry the pretense of controlled dosing, saRNA introduces a self-replicating genetic mechanism into human cells—a mechanism that has no inherent safeguards, no patient-specific oversight, and no clear understanding of the long-term ramifications.

This is not just another chapter in the reckless rush toward biotech dominance; it is a blatant, high-stakes experiment on the human genome, masquerading as innovation. As we have already observed in the mRNA COVID vaccines, the risks are far from hypothetical.

The premise of saRNA is deceptively simple: instead of merely injecting a blueprint for protein production (as in traditional mRNA shots), which mounting evidence points toward rogue transcription, saRNA also carries the molecular machinery to make copies of itself intentionally. It does this by encoding a replicase enzyme, which hijacks cellular processes to continuously produce more saRNA molecules, ensuring that the body keeps generating foreign proteins long after the initial injection.

Think about that for a moment. This is not a controlled, single-shot therapy. This is a biological machine set loose inside your cells with no definitive stop signal. Imagine handing someone a single-page instruction sheet versus handing them a self-replicating printing press that churns out endless copies of that sheet, whether they need it or not.

Proponents of saRNA tout it as a way to “improve vaccine efficiency,” claiming it allows for lower doses and longer-lasting effects. But let’s cut through the marketing fluff and acknowledge the harsh reality: this is an uncontrolled genetic intervention with profound risks.

1. Loss of Dose Control

Unlike traditional mRNA, which degrades over time, saRNA amplifies itself (makes copies of itself) indefinitely. The amount of foreign protein produced is not dictated by the initial dose but by the unpredictable replication rate within the body. How much is too much? At what point does the immune system become overwhelmed? No one can answer these questions because no one is monitoring patient-specific responses in real-time.

2. Cellular Hijacking Without an “Off” Switch

Self-amplifying RNA turns cells into perpetual protein factories—but what happens when those cells should be performing other vital functions? What happens when this genetic machinery infiltrates delicate tissues like the brain, heart, or reproductive organs? The assumption that saRNA will behave in a predictable, localized manner is wildly naive.

3. Unchecked Inflammation and Autoimmunity

Continuous foreign protein production means constant aberrant signaling and immune system activation. Chronic inflammation is not a minor side effect—it is a gateway to autoimmune disorders, immune exhaustion, and long-term damage to the body’s regulatory systems. By forcing the body to engage in perpetual battle, saRNA risks dismantling the natural balance of immune function.

We have already seen this happen with mRNA COVID vaccines, which have been linked to myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clotting disorders, neurological complications, and immune dysregulation. Many individuals who received these shots have suffered long-term health consequences, even resulting in many deaths. Now, with saRNA, we are looking at a more aggressive, less controllable version of the same technology.

4. Potential for Genetic Disruption

The claim that saRNA “does not alter DNA” is a convenient half-truth. While saRNA itself is not directly inserted into the genome, human cells contain endogenous reverse transcriptases—enzymes capable of integrating foreign RNA sequences into DNA. The long-term consequences of this interaction remain completely unstudied.

The Utter Lack of Patient-Specific Surveillance

The most glaring flaw in the push for saRNA technology is the absence of real-time molecular surveillance. If you were introducing a self-replicating genetic program into human cells, wouldn’t you want precise, patient-specific monitoring to track its behavior? Wouldn’t you demand a way to shut it off if something goes wrong?

Instead, we see the same one-size-fits-all approach that characterized the disastrous rollout of COVID-19 mRNA shots. There is no mechanism for tracking where saRNA spreads, no way to measure its long-term persistence, and no contingency plan for unintended consequences.

Even now, mRNA COVID vaccine injuries are being dismissed, ignored, or downplayed. Those suffering from heart damage, neurological disorders, [kidney damage], and immune collapse are left without answers. And now, biotech firms are steamrolling forward with an even more dangerous, self-replicating version of the same flawed concept.

A Reckless Experiment Disguised as Innovation

This is not a well-controlled, precision-engineered therapy. It is a biological gamble, played out on the most complex system known to man—the human body—without adequate safety nets.

The same voices that dismissed concerns about mRNA safety are now doubling down, pushing an even less predictable, more dangerous technology. They assure us that “preliminary results look good” while conveniently ignoring the gaping holes in long-term safety data.

The Bottom Line

Self-amplifying RNA is not a medical breakthrough; it is an uncontrolled genetic intrusion. It represents the next phase in a reckless biotech experiment that prioritizes market expansion over patient safety. Until we see rigorous, long-term, patient-specific safety studies—not just industry-funded propaganda—this technology must be viewed for what it is: a high-risk, open-ended biological intervention with no clear exit strategy.

The mRNA COVID vaccine rollout has already shown us what happens when genetic technology is rushed to market without adequate oversight: millions of people around the world now suffer from chronic health complications [or have died]. These events were initially dismissed as “rare” or “coincidental.”

Now, with saRNA, the stakes are even higher. This is not science. It is an intentional disregard for biological integrity, and the consequences could be catastrophic.
